Talking about the design, Revolt has opted for a simple street bike design for the RV1, with an emphasis on utility and practicality. Starting with the front, the RV1 features a circular LED headlamp and a smoked windscreen and a 6-inch digital LCD display for instrumentation. The motorcycle comes with built-in charger storage. According to Revolt, the RV1 has the longest seat in the segment and a payload carrying capacity of 250 kg.

As for the powertrain, the RV1 is available in two variants, with the standard variant getting a 2.2 kWh battery that offers a range of up to 100 km and the RV1+ getting a larger 3.24 kWh battery pack that promises a range of 160 km on full charge. Both battery packs come with a 2kW electric motor that sends power to the rear wheel via a chain drive, unlike the belt drive on the RV400. The RV1+ also supports fast-charging and is capable of a full charge in 1.5 hours. Revolt has also offered the RV1 with a reverse mode to make it easier to maneuver the e-motorcycle into tight parking spaces. As for cycle parts, the RV1 gets a telescopic fork and twin shock absorber setup, while braking is handled by disc brakes at both ends.

Commenting on the launch of the Revolt RV1, Mrs. Anjali Rattan, Chairperson, RattanIndia Enterprises Limited said, “Our commitment to sustainability and our quest to create a budget-friendly motorcycle that does not compromise on quality, features or safety are in keeping with our commitment to sustainability. With a modern and refreshed look and best-in-segment features, the RV1 brings a whole new level of style and practicality to the electric motorcycle segment.
